Hi Lance,

Thank you very much for responding (not sure how I reply to the group, so,
writing to you).

Can you please expand on your suggestion? I am not a web guy and so, don't
know where to start.

What is the difference between SolrJ and DataImportHandler? Do I need to set
up web servers on all my storage boxes?

Apologies for the basic level of questions, but hope I can get started and
implement this before the year end (you know why :o)

Thanks,

Sesh
